When we climbed Kilimanjaro, we had special T-shirts printed with our school name on the back. It wasn't long before a confused Tanzanian guide asked us why we had the word 'knife' in Swahili printed on our shirts - oops! I know Swahili isn't widely spoken in Uganda, but you'd have thought that somebody would have spotted that one! I recently heard about an organisation in the North of Uganda called 'ADRA' . Unfortunately, they didn't do their research and it was later discovered that this literally translates as 'fuck' in the local Karamajong language! Just a little bit embarrassing then!
I was wondering what UMEME stands for, so I wrote a little acrostic ....
Useless
Muppets
Eternally
Messing-up
Electricity supply
Any other ideas?
